ALBEMARLE
The earliest known settlement in the area was a Native American village – Monasukapanough – located approximately five miles north of the present center of town on a hillside overlooking the Rivanna River.
In the early 1700s, settlers traveled an old Monacan footpath, later called Three Notch’d or Three Chopt Road, along the major east-west route from Richmond to a pass in the Blue Ridge Mountains called Wood’s Gap – later Jarman’s Gap (now in Crozet).
By the mid-1750s land grants were secured for a number of large parcels within Albemarle County – named for the titular governor of Virginia from 1734-1754, the Earl of Albemarle.
